xcode9 / SceneKit - .dae file not loading into SCNScene - returns nil

Question

I\'m trying to load a .dae file into SCNScene, using the following code:

let solutionScene = SCNScene(named: \"art.scnassets/level1.dae\")
print(solutionScene?.r         


        

Answer 1

In case somebody runs into a similar newbie problem, the issue gets resolved by adding the .scnassets folder into "Copy Bundle Resources" under Build Phases of the project - cleaning the project might be required in some cases before you rebuild again. This solved my issue.
